ID H0552

Persons under supervised probation for misdemeanor offenses must pay a monthly supervision fee not exceeding the maximum felony probation or parole supervision fee set in section 20-225, Idaho Code, or a lesser amount determined by the administrative judge.

The first $1.00 of each monthly payment goes to the state treasurer for deposit in the peace officers standards and training fund to help offset county costs for misdemeanor probation officer training and certification.

Remaining monthly payments are deposited into a county misdemeanor probation fund created in each county, or alternatively into the county justice fund, and must be used exclusively for county misdemeanor probation services.

If payments are made to the board of county commissioners or its designee rather than to the clerk of the district court, they must report all payments received from persons under supervised probation to the clerk of the district court or to a person designated by the supreme court.

Failure to pay the supervision fee constitutes grounds for probation revocation, but courts may exempt individuals from payment for good cause and may impose other legally-authorized costs and fees.
